• [OT] Three year old mauled by crocodile in England; 30 year old man arrested

    A bizarre incident in the UK has resulted in a three year old being in critical but stable condition after being found in a crocodile
    enclosure; a 30 year old man has been arrested as a result. That's
    pretty much all that the police have said so far.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MhVZ6hDoq0 [3 minutes]

    Since merely standing in a crocodile enclosure is not going to put you
    in the critical condition, I can only assume the boy was attacked by the crocodiles. There is no word on how the boy came to be in the enclosure
    but the fact that a man has been arrested implies that the man is
    believed to have put him in the enclosure in some manner. The police
    have said there is no evidence that the boy and man had any previous acquaintance with one another.

    In a nutshell, a 30 year old apparently grabbed a 3 year old he didn't
    know and tossed him into a crocodile enclosure where the crocs promptly decided to make a snack of him; the boy was only rescued at the last
    moment and might yet die.

    The fact that the man has only been identified by his age and his
    current place of residence implies that he is yet another illegal from
    the third world; if he were a white Briton, the police would have had absolutely no hesitation in reporting that.

    I'm reading on Twitter that he has been deemed "unfit for interview"
    and... released? He was released on bail unti September.

    Nobody's mentioning race as such, but there's a rumor that he's severely autistic and was out with a caregiver when it happened. It's only a
    rumor.

    Releasing this individual on bail seems like questionable judgment,
    regardless of his race or his medical conditions.

    It looks like more than a rumour:

    What the hell were the police thinking? If he just fed a random three
    year old to crocodiles but can't be interviewed, that would seem to call
    for him being "sectioned" (the British term for confined to a mental
    health institution), not left free to commit more mayhem!

    This report on the incident is truly bizarre in that it doesn't even
    discuss HOW the boy got into the enclosure.

    https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KKh8sat5yy8 [short]

    If this was the only information you had about the incident, you'd think
    the boy just fell into the enclosure by accident! This report is from
    the Times, long regarded as the finest newspaper in the country (and
    maybe the world).

    But this video *is* a short. Perhaps the other important information was
    in the video that gives the full story and just got edited out for this version? I've just done a bit of a search but I can't find a longer
    version of this story from the Sunday Times. Have the levels of
    gaslighting actually gotten THAT bad??

    Found it!

    This is the longer version and DOES mention that a man was arrested for attempted murder in the incident:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKh8sat5yy8 [3 minutes]

    It turns out the media isn't COMPLETELY dishonest, at least in this
    instance, but I still wonder why they produced a version of the story
    that completely omitted any human agency in this horrible incident and
    left viewers with the impression that it was just a tragic accident.

    Apparently, the croc that attacked the boy is going to be euthanized so
    it doesn't look like he/she will ever attack another human.

    Time for "an eye for an eye" justice system to be brought back ...
    throw the moron in with the crocodiles, with no rescue, and see how he
    likes it. :-(

    More importantly it's time for a common sense justice system to give

    I have to wonder how other slaughter houses deal with the meat that they
    can't sell. I can't believe that crocodiles are routinely used
    throughout the industry.

    I can't help but notice that crocodiles are eerily reminiscent of the
    famous Doomsday Machine in the old Star Trek episode. They're even
    similar in their behaviour: relentlessly seeking out and eating anything
    that crosses their path. I wonder if the writer of that episode was
    inspired by crocodiles? Or maybe it was whoever created the model for it....

    They seem to have found ways that *don't* involve crocodiles ;-)

    I wonder how the zoos are going to respond to this event? Will they take
    more steps to separate humans from dangerous animals to reduce their liability? That would seem the most likely course of action since
    they're not going to be able to spot every nutjob that wants to throw
    someone into a wild animal enclosure at the gate and the insurance
    companies are sure to react to this with premium increases for zoos....

    Has there been any more news about the little boy or about the guy who
    threw him in there? I can't believe they let him out on bail. Are they
    taking ANY steps to protect the public from him?

    Our city employs a herd of goats to eat away all the dry brush on the

    Kitchener, my home town, does that as well. I'm not sure how long it's
    been going on but I think it's new since there was an article about it
    in the local news. They're not worried about fires, they just want to
    cut back the weeds.

    Apparently the owners originally got the crocs as a way of disposing of >>>> waste meat from their butchers business, when they bred too successfully >>>> the local council told them the only way to own that many was under a >>>> zoo licence ...


    I have to wonder how other slaughter houses deal with the meat that they >>> can't sell. I can't believe that crocodiles are routinely used
    throughout the industry.

    Our city employs a herd of goats to eat away all the dry brush on the
    hillsides to lower the fire risk.

    I hear they are going to unionize.

    Tousi TV, which does one or more news-streams a day about major
    international events, has a mascot called Greg the Goat who is a stuffed animal. Every time one of the top people in the Iranian regime gets
    smoked, the presenter holds up Greg the Goat and describes him as the
    guy who gets to tell the newly deceased leader that he is in heaven and
    will now be rewarded with 72 virgins - virgin goats that is.

    I think it's high time for common sense croc control in the UK!

    Apparently, the croc that attacked the boy is going to be euthanized
    so it doesn't look like he/she will ever attack another human.

    Once word gets around, the other crocodiles are sure to behave!...

    As usual, the stupid human does something moronic and the innocent
    animal behaving naturally pays the price. :-\

    The keepers have probably been throwing food over the fence for years,
    so seeing a little kid being thrown over the fence means the animal
    will automatically see it as more food.

    The moronic human, who should be "euthanised", looks like he is going
    to get away with no punishment at all, not even the usual slap on the
    wrist with a wet tissue, due to supposedly being "autistic" (a fad term
    by massively over-used medical, and non-medical, people that is rarely actually true).

    What the hell were the police thinking? If he just fed a random three
    year old to crocodiles but can't be interviewed, that would seem to call
    for him being "sectioned" (the British term for confined to a mental
    health institution), not left free to commit more mayhem!

    Kitchener, my home town, does that as well. I'm not sure how long it's

    Whereas our municipality does nothing at all in summer concerning the

    miles. (On rainy day when I wasn't working I went into Google maps to
    their photo section and found my home, dragged the marker north and
    was not surprised to find all forest with a few rock outcroppings and
    kept going to see how far north I would have to go to get to another

    miles N of here - specifically the highway between Squamish and
    Whistler - which is a ski resort.)

    Doesn't Vancouver get rain basically every day from September through
    June? (That's what I was told by an Ontario woman who moved out to
    Vancouver for a job but who found the incessant rain so intolerable she
    moved back after just two years.) I've got to believe you don't get a

    I still haven't heard whether the bozo that threw the kid into the
    crocodile enclosure is white or not; all they've said is that he's
    autistic. But autism has a huge spectrum and can vary from barely
    noticeable to an observant person to really blindingly obvious so it's anyone's guess how bad this guy is.

    I wonder if the police have just made up the autistic part to give him a
    pass rather than stir up people with yet another incident of a foreigner causing trouble?

    It was determined he wasn't "fit to be interviewed", so basically looks
    like he will be / has been let go with no consequences, because he is reportedly "autistic". Police have also reportedly been talking to his
    'carer' to find out how this happened ... which could, depending on
    what happened, even mean the 'carer' gets into some legal issues around "negligence", etc. while the person who actually threw the kid over
    just walks away free.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the "zoo" also finds itself with legal
    issues, and at the very least will have to pay out a lot of money to
    make the encolsures more secure.

    It's never the "poor" scumbag's fault these days. It's everyone else
    who ends up in trouble. The western justice system is a complete joke.
